“When you forgive, that means you absorb the loss and the debt. You bear it yourself. All forgiveness, then, is costly.”
—Tim Keller
This is why forgiveness is so difficult. It’s not right! It's expensive!
We are to forgive as God forgave us. He took the initiative while we were still his enemies. He paid the price and paved the way to reconciliation and redemption by making the first move, absorbing the pain, the loss, and the injustice of it all. Why? Because he loves us. Check out the Jesus story. It’s quite amazing really.
